Super Mario Sunshine.
- Best movement (besides Odyssey) of all Mario games, despite being released only 6 years after Mario 64.
- Lots of freedom in how you approach the Sprites.
- Blue coins, 100 coin missions, and mystery Sprites introduced some much needed challenge in a Mario game.
- The world of Mario Sunshine is among the most charming in the entire franchise, filled with various species of unusual creatures (e.g. Piantas and Nokis).
Also, I believe this game is also where Bowser Jr and Petey Piranha debuted (IIRC…?).
